CORPOREALITY ARE THE FIRST DOOR OF LIFE AND THE ORIGINAL DHAMMA

The body: thickness as finger span, width as elbow span, and longer as arm span, this is the world in term of Buddhist. Because the body has a mind, we can see and can touch, but the mind, we do not exactly know where it is. Our body has five physical senses bases and mind sense bases. Eye, ear, nose, tongue, skin and mind senses door contact to the outside world. This is the beginning of our life.

It consists of various types: 3 kinds of feelings, 5 kinds of feelings, 6 kinds of feelings, and the feelings with bait, the feelings without bait : all of the knowledge, we should understand clearly.

Heaven, Hell and Nibbana begin at feelings and will end with feelings too. We think Heaven, Hell and Nibbana, can be attained after death. If we misunderstand this concept, we cannot get the benefit from our activities in the this life.

By using languages, we can have the imagination world.

Because of this, we can feel and stay above the nature, we can overcome the nature, we can control the nature. Not many people understand this. But we think we understand.

The original action start at the process of thinking, where does the thought come from ? We have the word : sankhara-khandha in five aggregates and sankhara in Dependent Origination, what is the difference? If you understand this clear, you may understand the deep teaching of the Buddha.

Sankhara : the original meaning is movement.
